Barcelona midfielder Marc Casadó, one of the sensations at this start of the League, is one of the three new additions to Luis de Fuente’s 26-player squad for the next two Nations League games against Denmark and Switzerland. “His call is due to his quality, work and talent. Probably if he had not been put in the Barça first team we would not have seen his ability. This is a very clear case, he is a footballer who still has a lot to say and to improve,” said the coach of the midfielder who is causing a stir in Flick’s team. He has started twelve of the sixteen games and has played fourteen games and 1,043 minutes.

There are two more surprises on the list. The first is the call-up of Samu Orordion, a 20-year-old striker who is shining in Porto. “Here we have seen very good players and forwards. He is 20 years old with tremendous football potential, he has burst in, attracting a lot of attention, but this must be kept in mind. time and give it continuity. He will be more exposed in the media and must deal with the pressure. Now it is up to him to continue working harder than ever and improving his performance,” de la Fuente stated.
The second is the inclusion of Athletic Bilbao center back Aitor Paredes, who replaces Pau Cubarsí. The Blaugrana youth player had to get 10 stitches after the hard blow he received from the Red Star centre-back. “Pau has a significant injury, we take care of the health of the footballers and we believed that it was not worth the risk. You should have several days for the wound to close, the stitches to be removed… better not to take risks. Aitor has earned it, with Vivian he is forming a couple that develops in a fantastic way for our idea and style. I wanted to see him in the senior team because he has played in all the youth teams and I know him perfectly,” De la Fuente pointed out.

The coach is also very aware of another Barcelona player. This is Gavi, who was injured with the national team a year ago and who is already entering the game dynamics with Hansi Flick. “Gavi is immersed in the natural recovery process, we have to be careful, he was injured a year ago and his progress is exceptional. It’s energy, character, desire… but you have to go step by step with the deadlines, meeting them naturally. We hope it is in perfect condition,” said De la Fuente.

In addition, Spain will have the return of Barcelona player Dani Olmo who joins the already regular Pedri and Lamine Yamal and the return of Nico Williams, Ayoze Pérez and Yeremy Pino. Spain, defending champions, has 10 points and has already reached the quarterfinals, but has not yet secured first place in the group. They are three points ahead of Denmark, second.
For the first time in three years, without Real Madrid internationals
In this list with four Barcelona players, it is striking that, for the first time in three years, among the 26 players called up there will be no one from Real Madrid. The loss of Dani Carvajal due to injury, who will miss the rest of the season, added to the departures of Joselu and Nacho in the last summer market, have left Madrid’s list of players orphaned.
A list to which right now only Jesús Vallejo, Fran García, Lucas Vázquez or Dani Ceballos could be added. “I insist, I do not look at the origin of the players. We only value those who are good. Barça and other clubs in Spain are working very well and what it is about is giving opportunities to talented, young and capable people,” said the coach.
All the international players mentioned will travel to Las Rozas on Monday. The coach announced that “next Tuesday there will be open-door training and in Tenerife as well. The idea is to raise funds for all the victims.”
